A sENsArnoNAL ArFRAY.
An Editor Assaulted by q Railroad
Mswnate and nts Brother.
lBy telegraph 10 tina Dispatoh.l

81. LouE, January "A special from
Springfield, Mo-, says: A most sensational
fight occurred IN this city this morning In
the Office Of ODay Brothers, IN the City
Block, IN which John O'Day, second vice.
pre- sident OF the 81. Louis and San Fran
cisco railroad, and his brother, Ed. O'Day,
and Mr.. Ssrothers. editor OF the ECening
LCoder, participated. The Leader has been
claiming recently that the Morning Heroh
was owned by John O'Day, and, while pre-
tending TO support the Democratic ticket,
IL has IN reality, through the influence OF
the Frisco road, used its power 10 defeat
that ticket.
Last Friday the Leader published an edi-
torial attacking O'Day personally. This
brought O'Day to this city, and this morn
ing he and his brother met Strothers on the
street and invited him into O'Day's Office TO
talk over Il little matter OF business. John
O'Day drew from his pocket q paper,
StrotheTs says, which proved TO be q re-
traction Of the Leaders, former statements
and asked Strothers to sign IL. lie refused.
O'Day then struck the editor on the head
with cane and partly stunned him, but he
closed upon his assailant and floored him.
Ed. 0'Day then joined 10 the fight, and
knocked Strothers down, and afterwards in
fhcted several ugly wounds upon the latters
face and body. Strothers says that John
O'Day then drew a revolver and would
have shot HIM hut for the timely inter-
ference OF Walker Crenshaw and Mr.. Nc
Gregor, who separated the combatants.
After the trouble the O'Day brothers drove
RAPIDLY TO the Frisco depot, where the rail
road magnste took a train for st. Louis.
Warrants have been issued for his arrest.
Slrothers will survive his injuries.

The british Cabinet Crisis.

LONDON, January 3.-Mr. Go.chen has,
II is officially announced, accepted the office
OF Chancellor of the Exchequer. Lord
Harrington fully approves Goschen,s
course, and the latter's adherents say 1t is
purely as a Liberal Unionist that Goschen
joins the Government, which relies upon
Unionist support for success.
The Standard says: at Is certain that
the Government, with Goschen In office,
will be as strong as before Churchill re-
signed. II trusts TO the good sense OF Lord
Randolph and hi. special friends to re-
strain them from providing fresh and I'M
foreseen troubles"
The Times says Goschen was reluctant TO
accept Office but was strongly advised to do
80 by Lord Harrington. He will join the
Ministry on the understanding that he does
so as a Liberal, and that his object is TO
strengthen the Unionist cause. He desires
TO be satisfied that he is in agreement with
the Government on all important foreign
and domestic questions. Goschen has not
been offered the leadership OF the Govern.
ment in the House OF Commons, but that
will naturally revert TO him after the pro
TEN. lead Of w. III. Smith. Lord Sails
bury has assured Lord Harrington that he
Is trying, with some hope Of success, to
overcome the reluctance OF the COnserya-
tives to accept Harrington as Prime Minis
ter.
Referring to Chamberlain. the Times
says that while that gentleman regards
himself as perfectly loyal TO Harrington he
has made oyertures to the Gladstonean
party for reunion.
The Pan. Mall Gazette says that Cham.
berlain has consented to have private in
formal conference on the Irish question
with Gladstone. Morley, and Sur William
Vernon HarcOurt.
Goschen, although he will not be the
Conservative leader in the House OF Com
mons, obtains control OF the appointments.
sir X. A. Cross and Lord ldlesleigh have
offered to resign in order TO make room for
Goschen's nominees. The result will be Il
general reconstruction of the Cabinet.

AFTER THE RECESS.
Measures That VIII Have Precedence
I'm Congress This week.
tBy telegraph 10 the Dispatch.l

WASHINGTON. January 3.--In the Senate
tomorrow, after the reading OF the Jour-
nal, MIR. Cullom will formally announce
the death OF Senator Logan, and the Senate
will adjourn, rs a mark OF respect TO his
memory.
Wednesday at O'Clock POSSIBLY earlier),
Mr.. Cullom Will ask the Senate 10 proceed
TO the consideration Of the interstate CON-
merce bill, and there is a general impression
that the measure will be taken up, and will
form the chief topic OF discussion thereafter
unit II is disposed Of.
The unfinished business Of the Senate is
the bill providing for the establishment OF
agricultural experiment stations, while the
bill TO prohibit members OF Congress acting
a. ATTORNEYS for railroads comes over with
The accrued rights Of lOng-poStpon spe-
cal order. II is not improbable that these
mcasures-espccialy the latter-will COM
maDd some portion Of the morning hours OF
the Senate. aud one or both may thus DC dis.
posed OF during the week. Ii is not eX-
pected that any appropriation bill will be
ready for consideration by the Senate during
the week.
1t i expected that the legislative week in
the House viii be consumed on the discus
sion Of appropriation bills and the measure
reported from the Committee on Agrlcul-
lure providing for the erection Of depart
ment Of agriculture aud labor. There are
four appropriation bills now upon the
calcndar-Indian, Military Academy, diplO-
matte and consular, and pension. None OF
these measures are likely TO give rise to OK
tended debate, except possibly the diplo-
matte and consular bill. Owing TO its
radical change - compared with former
bills, and its increased appropriations, this
measure may become an object OF attack.
Nearly all OF the measures which have been
made special orders are likely TO be pressed
for acton at the first opportunity that may
offer when the House l. not engaged in the
consideration OF appropriation bills. In
addition 10 the bill for the creation OF de-
partment Of agriculture aud labor, this list
includes the Dunn free ship bill, the Pacific
railroad funding bill, the Oklohoma bill,
and the bill for the Reorganization OF the
Navy Department. Towards the latter
part OF the week 1t is expected that the
conlerrees on the electoral.count bill will re-
port an agreement and request the House
TO take final action, which will probably be
granted.
